I'm hoping someone out there can answer this question quickly.

Question: When ADSM (v3.1.05 running on Win 95) has to create a long
filename during a restore, on what basis is the tilde number in the 8.3
name (e.g., c:\progra~1\micros~2\...) assigned?  I have a customer who
is
telling me that a full restore of his Win 95 PC caused his 8.3 names to
get
generated with "wrong" tilde numbers.  He bases his claims after
observing
that the 8.3 names referenced in the restored registry no longer reflect
reality.  So my question really boils down to knowing what specific
steps
does ADSM take - when creating long file names during a restore - to
ensure
the restored 8.3 names are identical to the original 8.3 names.  Also,
what
role, if any, does REGREST play as far as ensuring 8.3 names in the
restored registry correctly reflect the 8.3 names of the restored files?
Thanks in advance to any and all who respond.
